The "good news," according to the SOCOM website, is that the final game is still on track for its October 14 release.

The "bad news" is that the preview for pre-order customers--originally set to launch yesterday--has been moved to Friday, September 5, and access for Sony downloadable video magazine Qore subscribers will not start until September 12. To make up for the delay, the beta has also been extended to October 5.
